Mathias,

Nice Biblical name there, sir. Back in my working days...which means I am now retired, I started with nothing. Through sheer determination, lots of sweat, little sleep and long days...I finally amounted to something. However, I never forgot my humble roots. I am not a miser and enjoy most of the things I want and all my needs are met. I simply refuse to throw money away. I know people who live in pig sties but drive new vehicles.....out away from the hovel they call home....they can pretend to be something else. Nothing like seeing a new Eddie Bauer Dually parked in front of a 1978 Mo-bile home (we call'em trailers in these parts..new or otherwise), with duct tape over the broken windows and the seldom used lawn mower shoved under the floor right next to where the hound dog is tied up. Worse yet, in the uppity neighborhoods....there will be a new Beemer beside the Escalade, the garage door left up so the neighbors can see the Harley, golf cart, bass boat, and vintage Vette and a for sale sign in front of their 5200 sq. ft. house. The owners are 24 years old. She's a secretary for a lawyer and he is a junior executive for a cleaning supply company. It's all about appearances...and nothing more. In reality, it all belongs to the bank..they get to stay as long as the ransom is paid each month.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
